Metastatic breast cancer (mBC) remains a major therapeutic challenge, particularly in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) disease. The introduction of CDK4/6 inhibitors in combination with endocrine therapy has significantly improved outcomes in these patients. We present the case of a postmenopausal woman diagnosed with HR+, HER2-negative mBC with cutaneous involvement, who was initiated on letrozole and palbociclib as first-line therapy. After ten months of treatment, she demonstrated a remarkable therapeutic response, with significant clinical and radiological improvements. This case highlights the potential benefits of CDK4/6 inhibitors combined with endocrine therapy in the management of HR+, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer, particularly in cases with skin involvement. These agents have reshaped the therapeutic landscape, providing prolonged disease control and improved patient outcomes.
转移性乳腺癌(mBC)仍然是一个重大的治疗挑战,尤其是在激素受体阳性(HR+)、人表皮生长因子受体2阴性(HER2-)的绝经后女性患者中。CDK4/6抑制剂与内分泌治疗联合应用显著改善了这些患者的治疗效果。我们报告一例绝经后女性,诊断为HR+、HER2阴性且有皮肤受累的mBC,初始接受来曲唑和哌柏西利作为一线治疗。经过十个月的治疗,她展现出显著的治疗反应,临床和影像学均有明显改善。该病例突出了CDK4/6抑制剂联合内分泌治疗在HR+、HER2阴性转移性乳腺癌管理中的潜在益处,尤其是在有皮肤受累的病例中。这些药物重塑了治疗格局,提供了更长时间的疾病控制并改善了患者预后。
